Can't wait to get it running with the difficulty the way it is. Any updates?!

I plan on not only having this be a miner, but every miner being a node+wallet+LN node and being a truly powerful crypto platform that sits on your desk!

Dont we need much more storage than the recommended microSD card to fit a full node?

Yes, once we integrate a full node functionality you'll need a 32GB SD card (20GB Litecoin blockchain size currently), but we will be offering just a miner image and a separate full node image and people can chose whatever they want to run. Our controller also has a USB port so you could connect USB hard drives and flash drives theoretically, but need to look into that.

Obviously it would be super cool if everyone with an apollo ran a full node, since we would have more Futurebit apollo nodes up than the entire network currently Cheesy

I assume you can mine any SCRYPT algo coin with the Apollo. Running a Litecoin (full) Node will be available soon/near future but you can run any software you install yourself on the SD? OS is Linux (based)? which version/build?


Yes any stratum scrypt pool. Its running ubuntu armbian...sure you can install whatever you want on it, but then you risk breaking the install and all the custom code we run to keep the miner from burning up so thats all at your descretion (obviously you can reflash the SD card if you REALLY fuck something up).
